Unfortunately, in N1MM+ disabling that feature also disables spotting to
the bandmap on QSY. (Though that doesn't always work.) This is important
to unassisted operators, less so to assisted ones. Yes, you can use
alt-O, but forgetting to do that will hurt our scores. There are a few
of us who operate unassisted and can't run all weekend.
Personally, the only times I fail to log a QSO is when I'm sending
manually, as I do in SSTs and MSTs, where I have to use alt-enter to log
the QSO. I don't do that in "real" contests.

For a couple of years now, I am checking the UBN file supplied by the Contest
Sponsors against my audio recordings, public LOGs and my own LOG.
I am shocked to discover how many good QSO's in my LOG are ending up being marked
"Not In LOG" and I am being penalized for that (I'm sure others getting it too).
While some casual operators are submitting incomplete LOGs, the most common problem
contributing to NIL is... well known feature in the N1MM Logger: "QSYing wipes out
the call...".
Maybe other Loggers have similar feature too.
If you are doing mostly S&P'ing, please... PLEASE... disable that feature for
the Contest. No matter how good you are, there will be a moment when after making a
QSO you would forget to hit Enter. And there you go - good QSO would just disappear
when you charge your frequency.
Not only you lose a perfect QSO (very often, a multiplier), but you also
penalize the other party, who thinks he made a good QSO.
Thank you!
